Jobs

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I heard we didn't add any last month.   

I heard the shitty jobs numbers from the last two months were revised down 57,000.   


I blame the half of the half of the legislative process the GOP controls.  Clearly more government spending, a 2% tax on "rich people", and some govt. mandated green innovation would cure all this.   Perhaps the govt. should mandate cash bloated, uber-profitable corporations fire people overseas and hire them here.

This would solve all of the problems the GOP created when the dems controlled all of the half of the legislative process.

What does one have to do with the other?

Mega-corp is watching out for their investors money during a recession and waiting for common sense to take over the government.

Meanwhile, Barney Frank Mortgage Mega-Corp, Inc gave loans to people that couldn't afford them. Don't see the correlation. School me.

Never mind.  Labor Dept. has this new awesome way to figure out the strength of the job market.  Job postings!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Companies in July advertised the most jobs in three years, and layoffs declined — a bit of hope for a weak economy. Still, many employers are in no rush to fill openings.

The Labor Department said Wednesday that employers increased their postings to 3.23 million from 3.17 million in June. That is the largest number of openings since August 2008. Typically, it takes anywhere from one to three months to fill an opening.

More openings don't guarantee more jobs. The government said last week that employers failed to add any net jobs in August, the worst month for hiring since September 2010. The unemployment rate stayed for the second straight month at 9.1 percent.

The worsening jobs outlook has put pressure on President Barack Obama. He is expected on Thursday to introduce a $300 billion jobs package before a joint session of Congress. The plan will likely include extensions of the payroll tax cut and long-term unemployment benefits, tax incentives for businesses that hire and money for public works projects.

There's heavy competition for each job. Nearly 14 million people were out of work in July. So roughly 4.3 unemployed workers were competing for each opening. That's a slight improvement from June, when the ratio was 4.45. In a healthy economy, the ratio is closed to 2 to 1.

Total openings are about 1.1 million higher than they were in July 2009, one month after the recession officially ended. But they are still far below the 4.4 million openings that existed in December 2007, when the recession began.

The biggest gains in openings were reported in manufacturing, trade, transportation and utilities.

The report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, or JOLTs, illustrates the high degree of churn that takes place in the job market each month. Total hiring in July slowed, to 3.98 million from 4.06 million.

Total layoffs and quits also dropped to 3.92 million from 3.99 million. The difference between total hires and total quits and layoffs is similar to the net jobs gain of 85,000 reported for July.

The economy isn't growing enough to spur much hiring. It expanded at an annual pace of only 0.7 percent in the first six months of this year, the slowest growth since the recession ended. Growth may improve to a 2 percent rate in the second half, economists forecast, but that's still too weak to encourage much hiring.

Did anyone watch the pee tingling speech.  I know I didn't 

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

So in reading about the Obama "big speech" for his "jobs bill" to save the economy it appears that:

After 3 years of trying bullshit run of the mill dem policy which predictably failed, he's abandon that plan for one similar to what the repubs wanted back in the days of "stimulus". 

And he's trying to pretend it's his idea.


What a rough ridin' baffoon.  This guy is a political side show.  He's a walking parody on politics.  How can people be so blind to this? 

The republicans should shove it up his ass and say no.

[Rage Against the McKee]

So after years of disagreeing with me, now that stupid son of a bitch is trying to do what I've always said needs to be done. What a dumbass! I hope the republicans say no to prove how stupid he is.

Agreed.

As politicians, what rough ridin' incentive to the repubs have to go along with this bad person?  They proposed this and he demogogued them.  Three years later, he's pretending to propose this and "dares" them not to go along with "his plan".  MSM plays dumb (or is dumb), he has carte blanche to lie and deceive the unwashed masses some more. 

It's complete political bullshit.  The person to blame for this rough ridin' nonsense is the so-called commander in chief.  If he wasn't such a divisive, manipulative, psychopathic little crap and actually acted like a president this country would be in much better shape.  He's asking a bunch of arrogant repub politicians to fall on the sword for him and diminish their chance at reelection in exchange for what?  So he can take credit for their idea?  He's never done anything but crap on them and blame every one of his fuckups on them.  He's a rough ridin' assclown, and he knows it's not going to get done.  Just another chance to posture for 2012.  An unbelievable narcissistic POS.  This guy has put himself ahead of the country every day of his life, which was fine until he became president.

It's incomprehensible that so many people stand in support of this crap.  Worst president ever.

If the president would have done what the tea party wanted, we wouldn't have lost our credit rating you stupid ignorant dumb [redacted].  There plan certainly wasn't implemented, so how did they "not budge"?

Do you actually believe everything you type or are you just some ignorant lib caricature?

Where were you when we lost almost 2 million jobs in the last few months of the Bush adminstration?

[OregonSmock]

Can you feel it?  Can you feel all of those job creators trickling down all of those jobs?  Thank God for the Bush era tax cuts. 

[wetwillie]

I'm sorry Ben I am sure you will find work soon. 

[OregonSmock]

Seriously, can you feel it trickling down?  Can you feel all of those job creators creating all of those jobs?  It's amazing, isn't it?

Well, if cutting taxes for companies/rich doesn't create jobs and "injecting" billions of dollars via stimulus doesn't create jobs then what does?  Maybe nothing creates jobs. Or maybe there are the right number of jobs just too many people.  Hmmmm.

Ideas are the foundation behind job creation.  Taxes have no correlation with economic growth.  None.  Marginal tax rates were higher during the Clinton adminstration than they are now, and over 23 million jobs were created during that time period.

In the 1950's they put people to work on infrastructure projects.  We built highways, bridges, roads, etc, etc.  It's time to upgrade our mass transportation system and put steel foundries, construction companies, contractors, and others back to business.  This isn't hard.
